    they United States Federal government holds the note on my house. I’m paying 1% interest. for 33 years.

    it’s a pretty sweet deal.

          Wish I would have. At 52, I’d have been retired for 20 years, pulling retirement since then, and fat on benefits. PLUS, working as a government consultant of some sort if I was skilled and chose to do so.

          And somehow, people think if you join, you have to pick up an M4 and go fight in a desert. Yeah, those jobs are for people who want them, or are too stupid to do anything else.

            You’re still part of the machine, and fuck that. Fuck that military industrial complex.

        USDA direct loan. the rates went up this year but they still give a deferment for financial hardship. I think it’s called a 502 or 503 direct loan.

      I got a Habitat for Humanity house and mortgage. 0% interest, 0 property taxes. Cost of the home was the cost of purchasing the land and building it.

      Keep playing sucker games kids, keep getting suckered, keep bitching.

      Or maybe try something?
